As part of The Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, with a total budget of 12 billion GBP, the Prime Minister announced point 5 as an incentive to increase greener urban mobility, through increased usage of public transport and greater usage of bikes and pedestrian means of circulation.

Tens of billions GBP in enhancements and renewals of the rail network, 4.2 billion GBP in city public transport and 5 billion GBP on buses, cycling and walking, following the PM's announcement in February 2020.

120 million GBP in 2021 for the development of at least 4000 more British built zero emissions buses (12% local operator bus fleet in England), with the publication of the National Bus Strategy in 2021, funded through the 5 billion GBP budget. Also fund at least 2 all-electric bus towns, beginning in 2020 and developing the first fully zero-emission city centre.

Expand rail routes around big regional cities, including Manchester and Brimingham. Progress the Midlands Rail Hub scheme in Birmingham and improvements in Manchester and Leeds, alongside Northern Powerhouse Rail to improve east-west links across the Pennines.

Build additional miles of cycle lanes, expand school streets with 250 million GBP in 2020 as part of the PM's announcement to spend 2 billion over this Parliament. Active Travel England, will hold the budget, inspect schemes and assess local authorities for their performance on active travel. Also launch a national programme of support to increase uptake of electric bikes.

Expected results:

3000 new jobs by 2025

government investment of 5 billion GBP in buses, cycling and walking

savings of around 2 MtCO2e from green buses, cycling and walking between 2023 and 2032.

Early 2021: National Bus Strategy and first electric bus town

2021: first of 4000 new zero-emission buses delivered

2023-2024: first rail lines opened

2025: cycle training available to every school child and adult

by 2025: double cycling rates from 2013 levels to 1.6 billion stages per year.

Record Tanker Rates Cripple U.S. Crude Oil Flows to Asia

The Iran war has made oil tanker voyages so inefficient that vessel availability has crumbled and freight costs have soared to record-highs, all but erasing the incentive for shipping crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Asia. The cost of shipping crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast to China soared to as high as $80 million earlier this month. That’s ten times the average tanker rates that had held for years before the Iran war. Freight rates have eased from the record highs seen in early October, but they were still about $60 million for…

Fuel Oil Becomes Asia’s Next Cost Shock

Singapore’s shipping-fuel market is adding another layer of cost to Asian trade. Disrupted supplies from the Middle East and Russia, resilient bunker demand and prohibitive freight rates have pushed high-sulphur fuel oil above the price of the crude used to produce it. Seasonal relief from Gulf producers and additional Chinese export allowances could ease the squeeze towards year-end, particularly for very-low-sulphur fuel oil. But with replacement cargoes expensive to transport and Russian supplies vulnerable to further disruption, a return…

Syria's Energy Comeback Could Reshape Middle East Oil and Gas

Syria is undergoing countrywide reconstruction after more than a decade of conflict, which caused extensive infrastructure damage and led to millions of people being displaced. As Syrians rebuild their lives, the government has big plans for economic diversification and growth to support long-term recovery. Thanks to its favourable geographic position, this includes the development of a strong energy sector that could help eventually establish Syria as a regional hub. Syria is now led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who formed a transitional government…

Can Undersea Volcanoes Power Cities? A Seattle Startup Just Took the First Step

A geothermal startup aiming to source energy directly from undersea volcanoes just hit a major milestone that could bring round-the-clock clean energy to cities on the northwest coast of the United States and serve as a critical proof of concept for other regions, with particular relevance for the other 14 countries situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Seattle-based energy startup Endurance Energy just announced that it successfully created net-positive energy from its underwater geothermal plant in a world first. The company successfully…

Trump Targets $6.2 Billion Offshore Wind Project Nearing Completion

United States President Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted offshore wind since coming into office last year, as he strives to expand the country’s fossil fuel sector and shift the focus away from renewable energy. Trump has sought to halt the development of several offshore wind projects and has even resorted to paying companies to relinquish their leases on areas off the U.S. coast to instead invest in oil and gas projects. Now, Trump is looking to rescind approval for Connecticut’s first offshore wind project, Revolution Wind, as…
